Welcome to the continuation of my series Getting Started with Python Integration to SAS Viya. In this post I'll discuss how to update rows in a distributed CAS table. Load and prepare data in the CAS server I created a script to load and prepare data in the CAS server. This
SAS' Kathryn McLawhorn reveals an elegant option to introduce dynamic header data using DATA step logic and the FORMAT procedure.
Welcome to the continuation of my series Getting Started with Python Integration to SAS Viya. In this post I'll discuss saving CAS tables to a caslib's data source as a file. This is similar to saving pandas DataFrames using to_ methods. Load and preview the CAS table First, I imported the
In part 1 of this series, we examined our data before building any models. Among the discoveries was a column that seemed to contain a SAS date value. Here, we will discuss what exactly is meant by a 'SAS date', how to format it correctly, and how to create a
Welcome to the continuation of my series Getting Started with Python Integration to SAS Viya. In this post I'll discuss how to execute SQL with the Python SWAT package in the distributed CAS server. Prepare and load data to the CAS server I created a Python function named createDemoData to prepare
SAS' Chris Hemedinger announces the SAS Customer Recognition Awards, which applaud SAS customers and partners helping us change the world through analytics.
Welcome to the continuation of my series Getting Started with Python Integration to SAS Viya. In this post I'll discuss how to count missing values in a CAS table using the Python SWAT package. Load and prepare data First, I connect my Python client to the distributed CAS server and named
Welcome to my series on getting started with Python integration to SAS Viya for predictive modeling. Exploring Data - Learn how to explore the data before fitting a model Working with Dates - Learn how to format a SAS Date and calculate a new column Imputing Missing Values - Learn
Welcome to the first post in my series Getting Started with Python Integration to SAS Viya for Predictive Modeling. I'm going to dive right into the content assuming you have minimal knowledge on SAS Cloud Analytic Services (CAS), CAS Actions and Python. For some background on these subjects, refer to
SAS SVP Kimberly May writes about her plans for SAS Technical Support for 2023.
Which SAS technique should you use? Consider how often the program is to be run, your comfort level and more.
Welcome to the continuation of my series Getting Started with Python Integration to SAS Viya. In this post I'll discuss how to bring a distributed CAS table back to your Python client as a DataFrame. In this example, I'm using Python on my laptop (Python client) to connect to the
In my blog series regarding SAS REST APIs (you can read all of my posts on this topic here) I outlined how to integrate SAS analytical capabilities into applications. I detailed how to construct REST calls, build body parameters and interpret the responses. I've not yet covered authentication for the
Welcome to the continuation of my series Getting Started with Python Integration to SAS Viya. In previous posts, I discussed how to connect to the CAS server, how to execute CAS actions, and how your data is organized on the CAS server. In this post I'll discuss loading client-side CSV files into
SAS 9.4M8 is available. Its focus is on security and updates to third-party technologies. It also updates the supported OS environments.
Welcome to the continuation of my series Getting Started with Python Integration to SAS Viya. In previous posts, I discussed how to connect to the CAS server, working with CAS actions and CASResults objects, and how to summarize columns. Now it's time to focus on how to get the count of unique values
SAS expert Leonid Batkhan demonstrates how to automatically replicate/clone metadata users’ groups and roles from one user to another.
When you use PROC MEANS or PROC SUMMARY to create a summary data set and include a CLASS statement, SAS includes two variables, _FREQ_ and _TYPE_, in the output data set. This blog shows you two ways to interpret and use _TYPE_ using the data set Shoes in the SASHELP

SAS Explore was created by technologists for technologists, and has more than 100 free SAS training sessions. Here are a few top picks!
The addition of the PYTHON procedure and Python editor in SAS Viya enables users to execute Python code in SAS Studio. This new capability in SAS Viya adds another tool to SAS's existing collection. With this addition I thought, how can I utilize this new found power? In this example,
SAS' Bari Lawhorn introduces you to the MFILE option as a way to home in on errors and warnings in your macros.
Change is hard and can be a bit scary. We tend to resist change as we get comfortable with our routines and how things work. However, many times we fail to see the benefits of that something new. Imagine if we didn't move from MS DOS to Windows? If we'd
Welcome back to my SAS Users blog series CAS Action! - a series on fundamentals. The previous posts show how to use the simple.freq CAS action to generate, save and group simple frequency tables. In this post I will show you how to use the freqTab.freqTab CAS action to generate more advanced
Welcome back to my SAS Users blog series CAS Action! - a series on fundamentals. In my previous part 1 and part 2 posts I reviewed how to use the simple.freq CAS action to generate frequency distributions for one or more columns and how to save the results. In this post I
If you have ever needed to score a multiple-choice test, this blog is for you. Even if you are not planning to score a test, the techniques used in this example are useful for many other programming tasks. The example I am going to present assumes the answer key and
Welcome back to my SAS Users blog series CAS Action! - a series on fundamentals. In my previous post CAS-Action! Simple Frequency Tables - Part 1, I reviewed how to use the simple.freq CAS action to generate frequency distributions for one or more columns using the distributed CAS server. In this post
